MS should start getting used to being dissed about frame rate in Dx10. Despite all the issues with Vista no service pack until 2008 or so I've heard. They talked about performance patches but no news about those as of late.

That's is the type of demo release I'm looking for... early enough to get people pumped and get a nice little boost in sales.

Damn! I forgot to get my comment approved by Dagok. I'm going to get in trouble again LOL.

When I went from a 19" to 24" widescreen I did not see much difference until I played a game where I could adjust the aspect ratio. Once I did it was hard to go back.

I made the mistake of playing BF2142 1920x1200 & had to go back to 1600x1200 because PunkBuster. It was hard to take.The image was so much better & the extra width made a diff.

What realy made me realize th eimpact of Widescreen was R6Vegas. The game does not support Widescreen but the community released a fix ...anyways Just the intro movie or first cut scene gives you a very good idea of how much more you get to see.

Instead of posting a weak reply like that jsut go ask momy for $$ to buy Bioshock take out your skatboard & go get some sun.. I can see the " Post Message " heading is brunt into your forehead from trolling forums!

And Meatfarce don't even think about it...no patience for childish BS today!

Dagok STFU kid... You are complaining about a comment in a forum on a game site. Get a life & go troll elswhere.

If you find my coment stupid don't read it how dumb are you dude?!?!

IF you do not have alife, wife kids or job so be it some of us do. GO back to your Moms basement surf for porn instead of posting BS.

BTW learn how to read kid " 7:00 p.m. Eastern time today"

IS to complexe for little brain or you where just to pumped up to go trolling today?

Got to love the internet..every kid thinks he's Chuck Liddel when behind a keyboard at moma's house ... welcome tot he real world kid. People like me eat retards like you for breakfast in forums & in the street!

The game will be available on the 21st. Releasing a demo on monday the 20th?!

I will by the game tomorow but for futur reference PC gamers tend to be a little older I doubt many will stay home from work to download this or stay up all night to finish it before buying the game tomorrow.

It's the thought that counts! I'm just thinking about something I read on Blues years ago..the article said that a demo release prior to game release increases sales by 10%.

I would not worry about performance. Up to now, Epic has been very good at optimizing code.

I know that some Unreal 3 engine games had real bad performance like R6 vegas & GRAW 1&2 but those where released by companies with so so record when it comes to game code optimization & support.

UT3 made with the same engine as those other games will have far better Quad core support for example. WIththe games I named in the previous paragraph you get little to no performance boost from Quad core CPUs.

One last thing, If you are worried because of that questionable Cliffy B comment about how PCs can't handle games like GEARS...that was just poor attmpt at hype & marketing on his behalf. Are rare occurance cause CliffyB Normally knows what he's talking about! He's probably the best level design guy in the business.

Nvidia's new cards will come out this fall if ATI releases something that can outshine the 8800 Ultra.

I have an E6700 & 880 SLI setup.. I expect crazy performance. Don't forget Crysis was benchmarked on a laptop & ran smooth according to the devs.

If you have the patience wait for new hardware... ATI's new card is probably going to be very good especially if you play with 4X AA or higher.

PS. Physx card will add another level of detail to the game if you have one.

That is why they shrink the map size for console versions & cut the multiplayer to 16 or 32 players.

Got to love these guys..

What about those reviews that say it's the same game but the PC has better textures. Just go look on IGN, I do not even have to name games by name.

Still waiting for someone to give me some arguments to back up this little statement.

The same games I was playing on 3 year old hardware still look better than most next gen titles.

Even the guys on that EP game show where bitching about how so called next gen titles did not look as good as some current gen PC games. People..give it up even Tommy Telerico does not agree with you & he sure does not play PC games.

Lets just take an average looking old PC game like BF2. That game runs on what hardware?! compare it to the 360 specs? Again my point is proven. We can do this all day long people but I'm at work & you had plenty of chances to back up your claims.....

Geez I guess my dreams of a MechWorrior replacement have been crushed lol!

it seems that the audience is mostly interested in strategy games and role playing games.

LOL.. I love his stuff it's like Myamoto saying Internert access was a waist of time and that no online games where doing well before the Game cube came out.

Lack of vision & understanding of the markets will kill this company. Next summer we see apost saying they went beely up & people will cry over losing jobs etc... rember this thread when that day comes.

More poeple play online FPS on the PC then play Strategy games...numbers of RPG gamers is slightly lower than FPS gamers.

I guess we need a group of guys like the dudes from STALKER to make a good mech game that will sell. Then the rest will copy.

The starship Von Braun single handedly made SS2 one of my favorite games.

I could not have said it better myself. I also agree with the doom3 comments..

Even litte things like the nanites used to make a copy of yourself so you can respawn in the game was well thought.I could go on for hours talking all the details that made SS2 the best single player game ever made.

Sad but to this date nothing compares or comes close to SS2 but that's just my opinion.

I hade high hopes for this game but with time it just became something to keep me busy until the other AAA titles come out this fall.

Game Devs. Get your act together before asking people to pay for patches.

Why should the end user have to pay for the dev. team to fix a flaw in their product??!

I should pay the car company if their is a recall?!

Start making the games people really want with the features they are asking for make sure it's bug free. Once you've proven yourself to gamers then you can ask people to pay for patches but only compatibility patches.
